I dont want to sound rude, but as a bootstrap founder it kinda boggles my mind how much money people can raise for a product like ferretdb. I just don't see how it can make VC level return without at the very least changing licenses which seems to ne the premise behind creating this MongoDB proxy. I am sure there is a narrative for it though so best of luck!

- aleksi 2y agoIf bait-and-switch were our strategy, we would have chosen a different license from the beginning. The Apache license allows everyone to fork FerretDB away and do whatever they like with it. It is unlike MongoDB with their initial AGPL that, in theory, allows everyone to, say, run MongoDB SaaS, but in practice, has enough strings attached to scare people off. We want to have a piece of a bigger pie, not a bigger piece of an existing pie. Providing alternatives makes the whole market bigger. > Also check you managed service links on GitHub, half are dead. Thank you.
